The Hidden Cost of War

There are over 300 million people in this country and they don't understand what is going on, they’re more concerned with the newest reality TV show and every other kind of entertainment you can think of, this is the end result. This is how it was planned for a long time, the people are dumbed down and don't have the will to stand up.

In 2003 Donald Rumsfeld estimated a war with Iraq would cost $60 billion. Five years later, the cost of the Iraq war is over 10 times that figure. Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Bilme's exhaustedly researched book, "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict," breaks down the price tag, from current debts to the unseen costs we'll pay for years to come.

If we start acting and protesting, things could change. We are over 300 million strong, we can force change. Either we make our stand or let organizations like Triple Canopy, DynCorp, and/or Blackwater Worldwide (changed its name to Xe in February), the worlds most powerful mercenary army control the rest of our lives and our children’s lives.
